The election was held concurrently with other local elections held in England on the 5 May. The council had been controlled by the Labour Party since 1990, which had held an outright majority since 2012. Labour won the Exeter election, extending their control to 30 seats, their highest ever share of the vote. The Conservatives came in second place with eight seats, losing four to Labour, while the Liberal Democrats won a single seat. The election for the Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner was also scheduled for the 5 May. Voters in Exeter would cast a separate ballot for the office, in conjunction with the residents of the rest of the Devon and Cornwall police area. Background The elections to Exeter City Council were the first to be held since the Local Government Boundary Commission for England conducted a review into the electoral arrangements in Exeter. The review was prompted by the previous council that had a high level of electoral inequality, with some councillors representing many more voters than others.Final recommendation on the new electoral arrangements for Exeter City Council: Summary report http://www.lgbce.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/26261/Exeter-summary-reduced-size.pdf Local Government Boundary Commission for England 16 May 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304112031/http://www.lgbce.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/26261/Exeter-summary-reduced-size.pdf 4 March 2016 dead The old council consisted of 40 councillors from 18 wards, each of two or three councillors, which were elected by thirds over a four-year cycle, with elections to Devon County Council on the fourth year. This resulted in some wards having elections every year, while others would have one year in the cycle with no elections. The review resulted in the number of councillors being reduced to 39 and the number of wards reduced to 13, with each ward returning three councillors.Where will you live?

As a result of the review, for 2016 all seats on the council were up for election. The election used the plurality-at-large voting system; each voter was able to cast up to three votes, with the three candidates with the highest number of votes being elected.2016 Local Elections https://exeter.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/elections-and-voting/2016-local-elections/ Exeter City Council 16 May 2016April 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes As the council would revert to electing by thirds in 2018, a number of councillors would serve partial terms in the interim.

The Green Party proposed a more environmentally sound city, focusing on improving the quality of life for residents, a sustainable development plan, and reducing waste from the city. They also planned to make the council more democratic and accountable to the people of Exeter.
